The Shortlist for July 27

Well, maybe without lyrics about their "sick need to give love then take it away." But it seems Taylor's parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, separated two years ago. According to Radar, Taylor's "new album will showcase the pain of her parents' separation," in much the same way that her 2010 tune, "Dear John," grappled with her split from John Mayer. Let's hope Andrea and Scott don't run to Rolling Stone after said album drops to whine about how Tay-Tay's "cheap songwriting" "humiliated" them. (Yes, Mr. Mayer, we're lookin' at you.) (Jezebel)
